Blank map of Palau
The outline, free as a PNG, SVG or PDF. Label it, colour it in or drop it into a slide.

Using a blank map of Palau
The shape of Palau, as a file: a PNG with a transparent background, an SVG or a PDF, in the version that fits what you are making. Outline only is the shape alone, and With borders adds the lines between its 16 administrative areas. Nothing on either is named.
On a display or a handout
A transparent PNG will sit on any coloured background, so a classroom display can set the map of Palau on a sheet of coloured paper in a word processor or a slide, with captions of your own around it. Resize the PNG from a corner and the proportions hold. A handout can carry the map in a box with a short note for each area it covers.
A key you can reuse
The list further down this page names the 16 areas of With borders, so a report or a display can quote them without retyping. Place the PNG in a document with a column of captions beside it, and spread the areas you write about across the map so the reader looks in different places. Outline only keeps the page clear when the text is the main thing.
In a design tool
Open the SVG in Illustrator, Inkscape or Figma and recolour each area, or take the outline for a badge or a map icon. The vector lines stay sharp however much you enlarge it.
Choosing

Questions people ask
What is the difference between Outline only and With borders?
Outline only is the shape of Palau with nothing inside it. With borders adds the lines of its 16 administrative areas and is the political blank map. Neither version has a single name on it.
Is there an answer key for a labelling quiz?
Yes. The list further down this page names the 16 areas that With borders draws. It works as a key for any captions or labels you add yourself.
Can I open the SVG in Illustrator, Inkscape or Figma?
Yes. The SVG is a vector file, so the outline of Palau and its area lines stay sharp at any size and can be recoloured, thickened or traced in a design tool.
How do I add names or my own colours?
Choose Customise this map. It opens the same outline in the editor, where you can show names, colour areas, pin Koror or Melekeok and add a title, then download the result.
